Fathers4Justice admits plan to disrupt TV broadcasts

Pressure group confirms allegations, but says it scrapped the plans

Pressure group
Fathers4Justice
has confirmed allegations due to be made in tonight's ITV Tonight
programme that plans were discussed to shut down TV transmitters on the eve of
last year's General Election.

But the group claimed that the plans were discounted long ago and were part
of a tactic to expose an infiltrator.

Fathers4Justice founder Matt O'Connor told
vnunet.com that the group
had been denied preview tapes of tonight's programme and any right of reply, but
confirmed that the plans filmed by undercover reporter Mike Hardy were
discussed.

The film apparently shows members discussing ways to shut down television
transmitters by pouring acid over wiring. One member is alleged to have
reconnoitred a transmitter to check the feasibility of such a plan.

Had they gone ahead, the attacks would have been on election night last year
in an effort to disrupt television communications for maximum effect.

Fathers4Justice aims to highlight the plight of fathers who are excluded from
visiting their children after divorce.

"A lot of what we do is disinformation to catch out undercover police and
reporters within the organisation," said O'Connor.

"We confirmed in October that the plans, which are non-violent, were
discussed but we decided against it."

O'Connor pointed to a similar disinformation campaign about a plan to dump
two tons of jam on the M25.

"That cost the Metropolitan Police a lot in extra patrols on the day," he
said. "Our aim is to cost the government as much money as possible."
